One of my clients, a small taxi firm who I do bookkeeping for, has been paying someone as a school escort. This entails accompanying special needs children on their way to and from school whilst in the taxi.
He bills the Education Authority £15 a day which he pays to the person concerned.
Having just picked up on this I have raised the question of employment/self employment.
My client doesn't really want to employ her, due to all the legislation surrounding that, for what is effectively 2 hours a day term time.
I think it falls outside self employment because the times are fixed and the lady couldn't ask someone else to cover unless they were vetted by the Local Education Authority and a crb check undertaken.
I've had a look at IR35, could this be applicable? Basically he could pay her through paye with a fixed term contract to cover the school term.
Thoughts please.
